Hurricane

A citrusy and sweet tiki built around rum, with the classic proportions and service that make the Hurricane endure.

“Our Hurricane has completed its voyage. Add the garnish and prepare for favorable weather.”

WHY THIS DRINK WORKS

The Hurricane works because dark rum, light rum, passion fruit syrup meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method shaken, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
